The Windah-Grantleigh project arose out of Queensland Rail’s strategic planning process that identified line capacity improvements required in the Blackwater system in Central Queensland. It was the first in a series of such projects conducted under a new contract model, designed to deliver cost effective and high quality upgrades in the minimum possible time in a collaborative environment.

The Windah-Grantleigh was successfully delivered in a very challenging timescale and included a number of novel technical features. In particular, it was the first Australian application of the WESTRACE WNC in a hot standby configuration.
